Ushuaia: Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island

2.Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 436 reviews · 5h 30m · from $92

Review of Ushuaia’s 5.5-hour Penguin Island cruise, with Beagle Channel views, sea lions, cormorants, lighthouse stops, and practical tips.

“Definitely it's worth to visit the island. The only problem is that it takes quite a lot to navigate the channel, almost 6 hours of navigation to go and come back. Not sure how much it depends on the boat used or on the channel navigation challenges. It seems to be the cheaper option available, but still in my opinion it's a bit pricy.”

4.Catamaran Tour through the Beagle Channel and Penguins in Isla Martillo

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 124 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $240

Review of Ushuaia’s Beagle Channel catamaran tour, with penguins, sea lions, lighthouse views, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“A bit disillusioned as I was told by a representative this tour would include disembarking to see the penguins up close. I came to find out this wasn’t included only during the excursion. All else was accurate. The ship, crew and ease of finding the location were great. There were bathrooms and a cafe on board. This would be a very kid friendly tour but I would hold onto the littles tightly as there is A LOT of wind.”

5.Navigation to Beagle Channel and Sea Lions Island with Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 63 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $118

Review of Ushuaia’s Beagle Channel catamaran cruise, with sea lions, birds, lighthouse views, hotel transfers, prices, and practical tips.

“On arrival in Ushuaia I was told that my tour did not include the most important thing, the Penguins, so I managed to upgrade through the hotel. As the tour gets passed around from company to company, check in was confusing, this should be made more streamline. The trip was great, full of info and great sights. Warning to those who get sea sick, the journey back was extremely rough due to wind, which apparently is often. 60% of passengers got sick. It was really rough!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 55 reviews · 5 hours · from $177

Review of Ushuaia’s 5-hour catamaran trip to Martillo Island, with penguins, sea lions, cormorants, mountain views, and practical booking advice.

“Catamarano stra colmo di gente . As ogni attrattiva da vedere ci si ammassava fuori e se eri dietro non vedevi assolutamente nulla e la gente non si spostava. Siamo arrivati dai pinguini prima di tutte le altre barche e nonostante questo la nostra si é fermata dove c’erano solo una decina di pinguini mentre il “gruppo super grande “ non siamo riusciti a vederlo nemmeno ha fatto un giro per poter mostrare anche a chi non ha visto nulla. In prezzo assurdo si quasi 169€ a persona ! I peggio spesi. Sxonsiglko !!!meglio barca piccola”
